Is it okay to get a tetanus shot in the buttock? I got one there and now it's hurting. I'm kind of worried because I read online that getting it in the buttock isn't recommended. Why did the nurse say it was less painful and more effective there? Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allI'm really concerned about keeping things that come into my home virus-free. I've got an alcohol-based sanitizer and I'm thinking about diluting it with water to spray on groceries and packages. Do you think this would actually work to kill any virus on those items? And if so, what would be the ideal ratio of sanitizer to water?
Avoid diluting alcohol-based sanitizers with water, as this will reduce their effectiveness. Instead, use appropriate cleaning products designed for disinfecting surfaces or a diluted bleach solution to kill viruses on objects coming into your home.
